Hi! My name is Phillip Williams. I am born and bred Cape Town, South Africa. I started teaching English in 2013, after completing my TEFL training at SALA. I am passionate about enabling people to use the English language to improve their lives. I teach across all levels of English, but I specialise in teaching Business English. I also teach on SALA’s online platform.

Hello. I am Staci Hamilton; a native English speaker. I have been teaching English at a beginner and elementary level since 2013. I enjoy the social aspect of my job; interacting with people of different cultures, as I’ve taught many nationalities in travels around the globe.

Learning another language is really a great challenge. To me, was even worst. I arrived in Cape Town and didn’t know how to say even hello in english. My challenge was to learn English in one year, what I tough would be impossible to accomplish. Being shy, and not talkative, I was afraid to never learn. I had panic to go out and talk, because I couldn’t understand a word. However, studying in SALA I saw that was possible. They help me to learn and speak english, challenging me every day with their methods of conversation, and encouraging me to talk, even having many mistakes. In the end of one year, I could understand and talk. This was amazing!

I sincerely recommend SALA if you want to quickly and efficiently improve your English in order to enjoy your stay in South Africa. I was the opportunity to have private lessons with Philippe that I thank warmly for his professionalism, his listening and his kindness. If you are motivated and hardworking, you can only progress thanks to this organisation!

SALA makes dreams come true and prepare you for an English University Degree! I was an English student at SALA in 2011, and I have managed to complete my degree in Public Relation all in English after I have attended sufficient lessons with great teachers and an awesome study vibe. The lessons were very dynamic and creative which allowed me to develop the writing, speaking and listening skills very well.
